Game's take on the theme
All of the bosses are designed after random tools you'd find in your shed (there were going to be more makeshift-inspired mechanics but were unfun or cut for time ;; full time job ough)
Does your game utilize the PlusMusic plugin?
No (no monogame integration ;v;)
Did you use any third-party plugins other than PlusMusic?
No

This game is pure gold, loved it!
Best entry so far!
🥺🥺💞💞💞tysm!!
the game feels very polish and it respond very well to the player inputs, the music is quite good and work well with the game mood/art, Overall a very good entry! Good Job!
This is amazing, I love how much polish went into this game, the art direction, the sfx and all the visual effects fit together flawlessly. I especially loved how juicy the Chainsaw boss intro was . Maybe the only thing I would change would be making the player a bit more visible, as it's easy to lose track of them during more dense parts. Really great job nonetheless!
Other than the use of the theme I like everything about this game (the rest of the game makes up for it so don't worry). It is very polished, the gameplay loop is great and I like the variation in all 3 bosses. I definitely need to take some notes from you. Great job!
while quite a hard game for me (I don't really play bullet hell or similar genres ), I think this was one of the best ones I played, with very fun mechanics and a smooth gameplay, paired with the visuals and the very simple yet pleasing artstyle, this game truly impressed me, good job!
thanks so much!! i'm happy to hear you like it despite not playing the genre much, im flattered by that!! tysm!
This game feels incredible to play, attacks felt really satisfying and the boss mechanics were fun, really recommend!
Really cool game! The controls were tight, the boss design was superb and I loved how flashy most attacks looked.
Great job!

WOW. Loved every second. Music was jamming, sound effects were clean and effective, controls were tight and made me feel like every hit and death was my own mistake, boss designs and patterns were wonderful...this game is SICK. I loved how you identified the phases in the boss health bar, that was genuinely motivating and something I haven't seen done before in this way. The chainsaw intro was so exciting and caught me off guard, nice touch! To you and your partner, very well done.
thank you so much!!!!! 💞 im glad you liked the chainsaw intro i was proud of that ahah, tysm!!
Super fun game! I really liked the theming of the bosses going from small nails to the much more deadly chainsaw. Controls felt tight and the game rewards quick thinking. The art style, while minimalist, helps with the visual clarity of each fight. Here's a video of my best attempt:
Really curious to see if this can be improved on.
this is outright DEMONIC.... I'm so impressed that's so sick, thanks so much!!
i like your boss design !! The bosses projectile is so chalangging me !! Good work !
What a cool game! I liked it a lot! I managed to beat it in my first try! Proud of it! The boss design is great, the fast gameplay flow is just... there, right to the point! In one word, overall, CLEVER. Clever game design.
Oh, yes, I'd like to mention that the minimalistic style with saturated colors went very well with the projectile speeds and the character motion. Neat.
tofe good game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good bossy rushy very solid and complete tofe
(from me first attempt)
Solid! Loved that every boss had a tool-based thing- really tied the thematic vision together!
Other than that- super precise controls! Game seemed fair, because every time I got hit, I knew it wasn't because I couldn't read the boss attacks, or the controls did a different thing than I wanted!
Very cool use of a simple color palette- in such a fast paced game readability makes all the difference, and the colors you used help!
Counting time is a nice bonus!
To sum up- seeing a simple color palette on those tiny itch screenshots I wasn't expecting much. Boy was I wrong. Turns out it's one of the best games I've played so far during this jam!
Attached- my final screenshot. As you can see I did poorly :) Enjoyed it though!
The game is amazingly polished, I don't think I can say much that hasn't been said in the comments below except that you somehow made getting hit very satisfying
Wow, the game was super and and with awesome polish, i didn't felt like i was playing a game froma game jam, loved it :O
This game is incredibly well-made! While it is a simplistic take on the theme, you really got creative with the boss designs and how to interpret their respective tools (my favorite interpretation would have to be Shears' laser attack, which uses the lasers to visualize shears opening and closing). Controls are incredibly smooth and the game plays super well. I could easily see this eventually becoming a full release on Steam.
🥺Thank you so much!!
First of all, very catchy thumbnail, good job!
I had to install .NET 6.0 to play the game (quick and easy download, don't worry), it may be possible to bundle the game with that to avoid this.
About the game... it's absolutely awesome, I loved every parts of it! I played it replayed many times, my score is good but Shears is really hard to not get hit ^^
The game also reminded me of ITTA in a way, which is a compliment!
the game is super polished it's very pleasant to take in hand (even if I would have liked ZQSD controls)
I loved the chainsaw boss!
